Niagara Falls, went through y bridge at

Of this place, and NO less than 100 persons
we're killed. 1t IL said that eight or nine
coaches we're burned. The scene about the
depot this morning is terrible. Grow DIS Of
weeping and frantic people are enquirinc for
friends that were on the Inflated train. The
trouble seems to have been that the bridge
over the verni!lion river was set on fire aud
the stringers were 80 weak they let the bridge
down In the bed Of the stream with all the

Many various methods are recon-
mended for preserving eggs, yet very
few manage to keep them in large
numbers. Limited supplies are stored
away for family use, and others are
kept in cold storage, at the great
commercial centers, but the business of
preserving them for the market has
never become general. There are
many obstacles to success, which arc
not always considered. First, only
fresh eggs r suitable, yet it is diff
cult to secure them unmixed with
older ones. A single stale egg may
cause the loss of all in the same pack
